DQ: (earned yesterday evening around this time…) Would it be accurate to describe these books, stories and these films as belonging to the mystery genre? I’ll hang on to my remaining DQ for the moment, if I may. (I don’t think I’ll try this ‘three IQs in a burst’ lark again - I prefer to have a little time to think and draw on other peoples’ ideas…) ---

I was hoping that maybe he appeared in the recent Green Lantern movie, though as an alien, English is unlikely to be his native languge. Star Sapphire would also have met the “S” requirement.
